Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.

God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.

When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.

Love is a friendship set to music.

When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
